Desert Encounter
Chapter 24

Emir knew he shouldn’t lie to her, but he did.

Hiding that he was in possession of her papers would have serious consequences if she found out and he was ready to take the risk.

He didn’t want to lose her, she was his, he had managed to have her, even if she maybe didn’t know it yet, she belonged to him, it was only a matter of time until she abandons herself body and soul, totally to him.

He had big plans for her, for them, and he wouldn’t let anyone interfere, not even his cousin, Aziz.

Yes, he had managed to get a part of her heart and soon he would have all of it.

He was confident that he had left his room with the sweet aftertaste of her pink and fleshy lips, which had made his own lips swell, so unbearable was the desire to taste them.

He loved the little moments he spent with Naomi, her long hair that he loved to see and now touch, her asymmetrical face that he found so perfect, her hazel eyes, her little pink and luscious mouth, her little thin nose, her cheeks reddened when she was uncomfortable, her thin neck, her little frail body, and her white skin which contrasted so well with hers golden by the sun. Had everything to attract him, this woman was a real treat.

If he could, he would give her more than a few fiery k****s, he wanted much more.

Every curve of her body fascinated him, he wanted to discover, master every part of her body, make it his own, so that his caresses would be like a second wind for her.

He only dreamed of one thing, the day he would make her his own.

This woman had managed to forge a path where no one else had.

He had it under his skin.

He had reluctantly left this room, he had work and it was time for him to advance his pawns.

He headed towards the depths of the palace, with a confident gait and a sure step, Emir pushed the door where Forbidden was written and went through it.

Ibrahim was sitting there in the small living room leafing through a newspaper and a cup of tea on the table.

When he saw his sheikh, he stood up and bowed

– your majesty,

– Ibrahim, is everything ready?

– yes your majesty, she is waiting for you.

Emir crossed the few steps that separated him from the door that was right in front of him and with an iron fist, pushed him and entered

– It’s time to go.

– I’m not sure I can do it, your majesty.

– do you trust me, Soyara?

– yes my King

– well, know that you will be followed and protected throughout.

– All right . She said while breathing, she was scared, she was afraid of failing.

– you have one month, try to stay alive until then, those who tried to incriminate you must pay.

– thank you for your trust

– don’t disappoint me.

Without another word, he left this room and nodded to Ibrahim whom he found in the living room in the same position and the latter understood what remained for him to do.

Two days later, a rumor claimed that the spy in the service of the rebels, the traitor whom the sheikh had locked up somewhere in the palace prisons, had fled.

Everyone was on alert in the palace, everyone knew.

Emir was in his office and was preparing for the special meeting that was to have him in about thirty minutes in the throne room with some of his generals and his right-hand man Salif.

Everyone was worried, how was this possible? some even thought that she was already dead like her predecessors.

Knock knock knock

There was a knock on his door

– come in. He thundered in his hoarse and powerful voice

– please forgive me your majesty but…

Naomi’s small head appeared behind the guard who had just spoken.

– leave it there and no one bothers us.

It’s been two days now since they’ve been seen. Naomi entered with hesitant steps.

It was the first time she found herself in his office and the only word she found herself thinking was impressive, just like the owner of the place.

– so tell me hobi, what brings you to me?

– I’m sorry to bother you m…

– know that you never bother me. He said, getting up from his solid wooden chair, giving her a piercing look as he walked towards her.

Naomi blushed and lowered her head

– I heard the news, the one who got away..

– yes?

– well, I was thinking that she was one of your… I mean one of your… noor mistresses?

– concubines is the correct term, and the answer is yes, why does this bother you?

– yes, well no, I was just thinking to myself as she is a criminal and that we would have found weapons in her belongings…., well imagine that she loves you and that she wants to come after me?

– ahahahaha. He laughed

These sounds, Naomi loved them

Go ahead and laugh again, you are so beautiful when you give in to this desire. she thought.

– why would she do something like that hm?

– I don’t know, but..

– don’t worry Naomi, you are safe here, you have nothing to fear.

– and if….

He moved even closer to her, and her heart began to beat hard.

– come sit down, I have something to tell you

He made her sit on one of the chairs in his office, and took her place

– Soraya..

– Soraya?

– that’s what her name is

– oh!!!

– I can’t tell you everything but you need to know something important. Soraya was never my prisoner…

– what but people say that…

– let me finish, Soraya was never my prisoner because she is innocent.

– did you believe it?

– yes and all this time, she was not locked up in a prison but somewhere safe where she learned everything she needed to know to succeed in her mission.

– what is its mission?

– it’s confidential, but know that as I speak to you Soraya is working for me.

Knock knock knock

– yes! He replied annoyingly

An advisor entered and bowed

– it’s time for your meeting your majesty, everyone is waiting for you. It was a guard

– tell them I’m coming.

And the counselee bowed once again before closing the door

– what are you going to do?

– do my duty as sovereign, of course

Emir stood up, walked around his desk to position himself in front of her

– I loved sharing this little moment with you

He gave her a k**s on the forehead and walked towards the door but stopped

– Ibrahim will accompany you, you can go visit the gardens if you feel like it, I will come see you this evening, because I very much doubt that we will have time to have dinner together.

And the door closed, leaving her alone inside
